Sorry for the delay in getting this organized but the Selfie League games for May 2017 are Captain Fantastic, Medieval Madness, Metallica Pro, Spider-Man Vault Edition, and Theatre of Magic. Play any of the games at any time in the month of May and take a picture of your score. You can submit it yourself at MatchPlay or feel free to email lafayettepinballleague@gmail.com or text me your score as well and I can get them entered. Finals night is played at the beginning of the following month. Again if anyone has questions about Selfie League please don’t hesitate to ask.

A great turnout last night and some strong play from all of the groups as we head into the last couple weeks of the regular season. We even added another new player in Bethany, thank you for joining us, who brought our total up to 21 participants this season. Matt and Craig tied for MVP of the night as they both finished with 19 points. Full results and standings are below.

In case you didn’t get the blog post yesterday, see the Facebook post, or have someone fill you in at league we now have a new web host for our scoring site so the new web address is http://portal.eastsidepinball.com , go check it out, added it to your favorites/bookmarks, and login to make sure it is working for you.

Also we must determine the remaining games for Week 8. As of right now we have Medieval Madness and Theatre of Magic, and then there was a 5-way tie for the last three spots. I created another survey so that we can choose those remaining games. Click the link or complete the survey directly below to have your vote counted.

Lastly several of you have expressed to me that 5/23/2017 may not work well for you as the date of our finals tournament. I will talk with Main Street Amusements and see if there is a better date we can use to accommodate everyone as best as possible, and get feedback from the group as well.

Thanks again for the awesome turnout last night and really this whole season. It has been great to have so many new faces join the league. Next week we will present the trophies from last season before we get started, and remember the following week on 5/16/2017 will be our monthly 3-strikes tournament.

Hey everyone, our league web scoring site has changed but your login info is exactly the same.

Click the link, login, see you there tonight!

Well the votes have been tallied and it looks like we have some results. Week 7 we will play Tron LE, Harlem Globetrotters, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Star Trek Premium, and Batman ’66.

Week 8 we will play Theatre of Magic and Medieval Madness, and then we had a 5 way tie for the last 3 games so I will do another short runoff vote between those games for the final 3 spots.

Lastly it was unanimous that we split into A & B divisions for the finals which I think is a great idea. We won’t know exactly how many will be in each division until we actually have finals night which is May 23rd. However many show up that night, the top half of rankings will go into A, and the lower half will go into B. We will try to get a guesstimate of attendance plans in the week leading up to the event. See you all tomorrow at 7:30 for regular league play!

So far 8 of you have completed the survey for the games we should play in weeks 7 & 8 and here are the results so far. We are going to play the 10 games that get the most votes for those weeks.  Also the questions about how to conduct finals has so far been unanimous in us splitting into A & B divisions so it is certainly looking like that will be the plan. You still have 2 more days to cast your vote.

Just wanted to start planting the seed in your brains as tickets go on sale in just over a month (June 1st) for Indiana’s biggest pinball tournament which is hosted right at Main Street Amusements!

Main Street Mayhem II: More Mayhem is a two-day matchplay tournament consisting of 7 rounds of qualifying, and 3 rounds of finals. Every player is guaranteed to play 30 games of competitive pinball over the two days of the event.  All participants receive an awesome custom designed t-shirt from Double Danger Pinball as well as a custom sticker, and everything else from your entry fee goes directly into the prize pot! Top 4 finishers in each divisions (A, B, & C) receive cash payouts, and champions get custom plaques! The official Facebook Event page was just made, the ticket website is up and running (although you can’t purchase until June 1st), and the #moremayhem is soon to be trending on Instagram, Twitter, Pinside, and Facebook so don’t miss out on the action. More details are also available on our dedicated Main Street Mayhem II page.

Just your friendly reminder that tomorrow night is Week 6 of our Spring Season down at Main Street Amusements! As always we will start at 7:30.

Games this week are Big Indian, Cybernaut, The Big Lebowski (hopefully), Theatre of Magic, and Twilight Zone! I believe after this week we will have played all the games on the floor at MSA at least once this season. I will create a poll and take votes for the games we should play the final two weeks of the season.

Also congrats to Tom, Matt, Tommy, and Chris who all had good showings up at Pinball at the Zoo tournament this past weekend representing the Lafayette Pinball League well at a PAPA Circuit event.

See you all tomorrow night!

Congrats to Matt on winning the April 3-Strikes Tournament brought to us by Lafayette Brewing Company. Matt finished the night with only 1 strike, Tommy came in 2nd, Keith in 3rd, and Joe and Dan tied for 4th. A huge thank you again to Lafayette Brewing Company for their awesome sponsorship of the event. The donated prizes were greatly appreciated, and the scotch eggs before the tournament were delicious!

Reminder that next Tuesday we are back to our regular league schedule and we start at 7:30 PM.

Lastly Pinball at the Zoo starts tomorrow and runs through Saturday up in Kalamazoo and it is an awesome show and tournament. There is a main tournament, a classics, a kids, and even just daily tournaments on Thursday and Friday. Lots of great games will be up there including the new Alien game by Heighway Pinball so go and check it out!

So I realize we have a lot of new people and some of you may not be aware of the “Selfie-League” that we run every month at Main Street Amusements. The basic concept is that 5 games per month are designated the selfie games, you can play anytime you want, snap a picture of your score when you are done and text/email it to me, or submit it online yourself via Matchplay Events. They even provide an awesome guide to help you out if you get confused, and I am more than happy to help you out if you need anything.

Anyway this month’s games are Harlem Globetrotters, Laser Cue, Spanish Eyes, Tron LE, and Twilight Zone.  Some of these games we have played in league and I have already entered your scores into Matchplay. Here are the standings as of right now. 

You can play up to the very last day of the month to submit scores. The first Wednesday night of the following month we then have a finals night where the top 4 players face off against each other in group matchplay format on the games from the month. The top 3 finishers win tokens provided by Dan to be used at MSA. We will play finals in groups of 4 so the more people that show up the more fun we can have, and the more WPPR (World Pinball Player Ranking) points you can earn. Again if you have any questions at all just let me know and we hope that a few of you will participate in the months to come.
